I updated from 4.1 to latest 4-STABLE using cvsup and MAKE WORLD. Now using mergemaster to finish up before reconfiguring kernel and rebooting. Through series of bad choices, screwed up MAKEDEV with mergemaster - merged and edited rather than installing update. Now have mostly blank MAKEDEV file and don't think (not at home at the moment) I have a "clean" updated MAKEDEV left in var/tmp. What to do to recreate/install updated MAKEDEV? This is on 12gb FreeBSD partition that shares a 20 gb HD with Windows. Also have 2gb HD with limited remaining space that has FreeBSD 4.1 installed.
